The 80’s Explorer I took a chance on ended up being a hard no shortly after getting it. Glad I could return it. Even used at a 1000 less than what they were new, it felt overpriced.
They were briefly mentioned at NAMM this year. I actually don't mind the way they look . Not sure I'd be willing to spend $2k on a new one, but I wouldn't mind trying one out. I don't see many solid bodies with 57 classics anymore, and the p90 CS ones weren't bad either.
Well hey at least they spent the R&D on making these fugly things instead of redesigning a Les Paul headstock that won’t fly across the room if you so much as look at it sideways.
